Aaarg... I just bought (and will be returning) an IBM ThinkPad 1210 as
to get X running on it is just a serious pain in the arse. =( I had
it working once, installed OSS to get the sound card working, and now X
refuses to work.
In light of this, I am looking for recomendations of a good laptop that
will work with Linux with a minimum of effort (hopefully) or has been
known to run Linux with minimal tweaking.
Does anyone know of such a beastie? Preferrably under $2000 if
possible. It needs to have a CD-ROM, be about 500Mhz with a minimum of
32MB RAM and a 4GB or higher HDD. Doesn't need to have ethernet or
modem built in, but sound would be nice (preferably something that
doesn't require OSS...)
Is this even feasible? I don't have the bucks to shell out for
anything more expensive, but I'd really like to get a laptop so I can
haul it around to demo Linux with, and this ThinkPad I'm returning
later today just doesn't cut it.
Thanks.
